Booted Up Mass Effect 2 (PC) and clicked resume on the title screen. The game acknowledged that I clicked the button however the game itself wouldn't actually load. Opening the 'Load Game' menu reveals that the 'Restart Mission' 'Auto Save' and my last manual save files all have a strange icon and state 'Location Unknown' in the discription. All of these also refuse to load.

Anyone know what the problem is? If it helps I left off on Zaeed's loyalty mission.

Did your DLC somehow get unauthorized? Maybe try redownloading/reinstalling, or connecting to the Cerberus Network.

Maybe it helps if you load an older save (with a non-DLC area as current location), do the DLC-stuff, and NOT stop playing in a DLC area.

Found a work around. Loaded an older save file and once gameplay started I was able to load the save from the DLC area. Strange bug, but no loss thank goodness.

Sorry to bump a month old thread but, I have the same problem with the Kasumi DLC. I can't load saves made during her mission and if I die, I have to do the loyalty mission all over again because of this stupid bug. Is there a fix?

also getting this. also getting weird constant dinging from Windows while I'm playing. like the sound that plays when you've pressed a button one too many times while something is loading. i've been playing through it but it's kinda annoying

The same bug here - loading Kasumi loyalty mission from the main menu fails.



But as Pickledbeef mentioned, loading Kasumi from an older save (Normandy SR-2, just before I started the Kasumi mission) works as expected.



This is kind of strange, but at least I don't have to replay the whole game.

+1 for the bug. Will I lose 10h gameplay for this? D:


edit: found solution! The giveme2entitlements.exe seems to have fixed it!

Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: HA! FIXED! 

This seems to happen if you let someone else use your computer, log in with their acccount. and install DLC for which you are not authorized so they could use it. When you switch it back to your account, initially the only side effect is that it complains you're not authorized, but otherwise it seems like no big deal. Then this happens. If you delete or move the appropriate folders from C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mass Effect 2\\BioGame\\DLC (this takes a little guesswork) the saves work again.

If your PITA friend wants to mess with your stuff again, tell him/her to find new friends.  :devil:

Hope this helps.

EDIT X2: IAMRandommer's below is probably better. Note the directory mentioned in that post is if yours is the Steam version, while mine is if yours is not. (Obviously.)

Sorted it, I deleted the BioPersistentEntitlementCache.ini



Find your copy in



C:\\Users\\(you)\\Documents\\BioWare\\Mass Effect 2\\BIOGame\\Config



Then deleted all the DLC out of the DLC folder



Found at



C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\mass effect 2\\BioGame\\DLC



Then re-installed all the DLC and ran the game.



Then it worked :D

I had this same problem with Arrival. Turns out if you have some DLC in there that you didn't register, it causes that. Doing what IAmRandommer said fixes it though I didn't have to delete the .ini like he did.

PHEWW!!!!! Thank you guys a million times over! You just saved me 41 hours of replay :0

For some reason when I DLed patch 1.02 the Terminus armor dlc showed up. I thought it was a freebie perhaps, so I installed it. But obviously it wasn't authorized.

All I did was delete the unauthorized folder and logged into EA in-game.. fired up the previously moot save game.. and presto!! I'm back in business :D

Thank YOU ALL d(°û°)b

Screw this, nothing works for me, because I have an unregistered version of the DLC, cause I bought my game used and didn't wanted to buy me a cerberus online whatever. Is there any other way, how to fix this?
